Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

linuxserver/znc

[][hub][][hub] [hub]: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/znc/

[ZNC][zncurl] is an IRC network bouncer or BNC. It can detach the client from the actual IRC server, and also from selected channels. Multiple clients from different locations can connect to a single ZNC account simultaneously and therefore appear under the same nickname on IRC.

[][zncurl] [zncurl]: http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC

Usage

docker create \
  --name=znc \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  -p 6501:6501 \
  linuxserver/znc

Parameters

-p 6501 - the port(s)
-v /config -
-e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
-e TZ for timezone EG. Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it znc /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

To log in to the application, browse to https://:6501.

Default User: admin
Default Password: admin change password ASAP.

Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it znc /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f znc
